News of Insomnia Forum

Hello everyone, this is my first post here. I'm a 26 years old PhD student in science, and I have a lot of troubles sleeping.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the board and maybe telling my back story might help some of you know what's been going on. Even as a child I remember having boughts with restless leg syndrome and it's been that way throughout my adult life as well. I cannot take sleep aids as for some reason it sets the restless leg off and I will be extremely sleepy but unable to sleep which just makes me ...
